IMA to host networking event

The Interim Management Association (IMA) is set to hold an open drinks evening in London later this month.

Taking place at the headquarters of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) on Thursday May 23rd, the free event will provide an opportunity for interim executives to network with industry peers.

A brief talk from Tom Hadley, director of policy and professional services at the REC, is due to start the evening. He is expected to discuss the latest developments on IR35, as well as other current threats and "potential upswings for the industry", the IMA said.

This will be followed by a brief overview of the organisation, including details of its lobbying activities and a breakdown of its most recent Ipsos Mori research.

Published in April, the survey revealed an 18 per cent increase in interim assignments during the final quarter of 2012. Programme or project management work was found to be the most popular occupation for interims, accounting for 40 per cent of all assignments.
